HON. URI OSGOOD came to Joliet in June, 1836, when this now large and 

flourishing city was an insignificant hamlet.  As the town increased in size 

his influence as a citizen grew.  He was elected to various offices, and from 

1854 to 1860 served as a member of the state senate.  In 1860 he was the 

Democratic candidate for congress from this district, but was defeated by Owen 

Lovejoy.  Afterward he engaged in the general practice of law until his death,

February 8, 1871. During the entire period of his residence in Joliet he 

resided at the corner of Jefferson street and Eastern avenue.  January 1, 1839, 

he married Miss Caroline V. Aldrich. They had a family of eight children, five 

of whom were living at the time of Mr. Osgood's death, namely: Augustus A., 

Algernon S., and Henry R., of Chicago; Virginia A., wife of George S. House, of 

Joliet; and Emma A., who married Charles Seymour, of Batavia,  N. Y., later of 

Oakland, Cal.
